The Movement
Print For The Cure is a web platform aiming to mobilize all makers to combat the critical shortage of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). Some PPE, such as face shields, mask comfort straps, and hand-less door openers can be easily produced at home. We connect makers/donors capable of producing PPE to essential workers/requesters in need.
How It Works in 5 Easy Steps:
- Essential Workers can submit requests for PPE.
- Donors must register through the website.
- Anyone can browse PPE requests on a map, and registered donors can view requests nearest to them.
- Registered donors can claim requests, after which they are connected with their requester.
- Donors fulfill their claimed requests for PPE and arrange delivery with their requester.
By using this platform,
- Essential workers can benefit by receiving critical Protective Equipment.
- Donors can help save the lives of their doctors & essential workers.
- Requesters are welcome to give monetary donations to their donors upon fulfillment of their request.

Words from Recipients
Can't thank you enough for these. Thank you so much for thinking of us. It means so much knowing we have people like you going out of your way to keep us safe!
The PPE is used by dentists, dental assistants and hygienists who are treating emergency Covid patients who are experiencing emergent dental pain and require treatment as well as routine dental patients during the pandemic. We are not "near by" covid patients, we are literally in their mouths. This is amazing that someone would print those for us!!
I currently working for Ryan’s Rehab Services providing Physical, Occupational & Speech Therapy to skilled nursing facilities which is caring for suspected Covid-19 patients and we are expecting a surge in Covid patients as our neighboring facilities are having outbreaks. Thanks sooo much! It is greatly appreciated ♥️🙏🏻
Thank you so much for the face shields and ear savers for my team. Your supplies came at a time when it was very difficult to procure sufficient PPE at dental offices. I really appreciate your ingenuity and innovation.

Meet The Team
Michael Zeng
Founder and Backend Programmer
Hi I'm Michael, from San Diego CA! I help manage the project and program the back-end. I started 3D printing and delivering face shields with my robotics team "The Clueless" FTC, and seeing the inefficiencies of personally creating and delivering shields to an overwhelming demand, I founded the project with a goal of removing the bottle-neck of a single distribution center. Your support can make this idea a reality!
Subash Shibu
Frontend Programmer
I am Subash, a junior at Dublin High School. I wanted to help stop the spread of Covid-19, and created my own gofundme and helped make and distribute shields. Seeing as this website could be more efficient, I jumped in and helped program the front-end as well as market our platform.
